Execution Only

Build Equity.
Not Just Hourly Code.

Stop renting out your brain by the hour. Join a network where your code buys you ownership in the companies you build.

The Freelance Trap

You write the code, they get the exit. Best case scenario? You get paid your rate. Worst case? The project dies and your work vanishes. You are a mercenary with zero upside.

  • ✕Zero equity ownership
  • ✕Income stops when you stop typing
  • ✕Chasing clients for invoices

The Orb21 Way

You are an Execution Investor. You invest your skill into vetted startups in exchange for cash plus equity. If the company wins, you win.

  • ✓Vested equity in every line of code
  • ✓Pre-fundraised projects (you get paid)
  • ✓We handle the ops, you just build

Why Builders Win:
The Portfolio Advantage

Orb21 treats builders as partners in execution, not disposable labor.

1. Reputation & Credit

Beyond the CV

The Shift
"Trust me bro" → Verified Proof

"My work speaks for me. I don't need to sell myself."

✕

Fake reviews and "likes" that mean nothing.

✓

Work-based reputation built on delivered code/design.

✓

Credit for specific features shipped.

✓

Portable proof that travels with you.

2. Ownership & Upside

The Execution Investor

The Shift
Cash Only → Cash + Portfolio Equity

"I can build something I partly own. Each project improves my future."

✕

Success or failure of the startup creates no extra wealth for you.

✓

Possible equity/tokenized ownership in projects.

✓

Contribution-based fairness (recorded work).

✓

Diversified risk across multiple startups.
